Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hot Springs

“Susan was AMAZING! I can't thank you enough! She took care of my dog probably better than I do! My dog has had horrible experiences before and very high anxiety so I am always very concerned about leaving her. Susan was very patient with her, and by the end of the second day, Bella was off leash and exploring to her heart's content. I received at least 2 pictures and videos each day which really helped me having to leave her for so long. They both had a blast and I know they will miss each other. I wish she could dog sit my puppy where ever we are! (We travel fulltime in our RV and we had a family emergency we had to fly home for.) Thank you so much again!”

“Everything was fantastic! Alston was great with Buddy and I know he had fun. He can be shy around new people but he settled in great. For sure will have Buddy stay again. -Jason”

“Maria took care of our Australian Shepard over Thanksgiving for a week and was quick to answer questions and sent us photos everyday. Our dog had a blast hanging out with her dog everyday and we will definitely be using her again.”

“Margaret was amazing!! Highly recommend! I think Aspen literally had a vacation. I loved getting pictures of her and could really tell she was absolutely comfortable with Margaret! Will definitely use her again!”

“As usual, Kim did a great job caring for Tank. He's a very shy cat but has become friends with her. I feel very comfortable leaving him in her care.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

“Great experience! Communication was wonderful and Lettie clearly has a great time from the pics I was sent and was tired after her day of love and adventures”

“We are so happy we found Susan! She is definitely a dog person. Our pup Barney is very active, and has his own unique personality. He is a Blue Heeler with lots of energy. Susan gave him lots of walks outside and lots of playtime. I would recommend Susan to anyone visiting the Black Hills area.”

“We were so lucky to find Margaret for a last-minute daycare need while visiting the area. All the local boarding places were full, and we truly lucked out finding her. It was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel completely at ease from the beginning. Zoe had never stayed at a sitter’s home before, but Margaret made the drop-off easy and sent tons of photos throughout the day to keep us updated. If you’re visiting and need someone you can trust, Margaret is fantastic.”

“Kim was excellent! Our girls immediately made friends with her. Certainly put us at ease by sending us pictures and info about their walks. This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly use Kim again when we are back in the area.”
